[QUOTE="Robert48, post: 448284, member: 23401"] The downrigger mounts. I am sure I am not the first person to do this but I have never seen it on any other boats. I did not like the idea of using the clamp style mounts so I fabricated my own that use the factory oar attachment brackets. I simply welded a 1/2 inch bolt to a steel plate then mounted the Scotty mounting bracket to the steel plate. This allows the downriggers to swivel out of the way when not in use or pulling up to the dock. By experimenting with different lock washers and using a (handle bolt) I can position the downriggers any way I want without needing any tools. The mounts always stay on the boat but I can install or the remove the downriggers in seconds. [/QUOTE]
